Very Computer

I have an EIDE cdrom drive (NEC CDR-260) with which I would like to install Linux from
the Infomagic CD. It is the slackware 2.2. So I made the Boot disk IDECD
and the Root disk COLOR144. When I boot, the hard drive hda and the cdrom hdc
(secondary IDE interface) are well detected. But I can't mount the cdrom because the
kernel seems to not support the iso9660 filesystem.
Here is the command I type after login :
    # mkdir /cdrom
    # mount /dev/hdc /cdrom -t iso9660 -o ro
    mount: fs iso9660 not in the kernel
(this what i remember from the error message)
Note that I didn't yet install Linux on my hard disk: all this is done from the
ramdisk with the Boot disk and the Root disk from Slackware installation.

I would like to know if this is another bug in the slackware 2.2.0, and what is the
wether it is a bug or not.
